Panzer Tactics DS Video Special No. 3 ready for duty!
Strategy must be learned - New video teaches prospective commanders about their future commando units and officers
Darmstadt (Germany), October 22nd 2007 - Special training and able commanders are indispensable to hard-hitting troops in combat. This holds true in Panzer Tactics DS, the first authentic, turn-based Second World War strategy game for the Nintendo DS. Effective today, Game Designer Christoph Quas from the Austrian development studio Sproing will be giving prospective commanders their third lesson in strategic warfare. The newest video from the four-part series provides a descriptive overview of the versatile commando units and the heroic officers available for assignment to strengthen their troops even further. The more than 150 different air, land and sea units offer enormous tactical depth and guarantee exciting battlefield duals both in the extensive single-player campaign and in multi-player mode starting in December of this year.
The video is available for download immediately at www.panzertactics.de!
Due for release on Monday, the last part of the introductory series will focus in particular on the comprehensive multi-player mode and the numerous game modes available for up to 4 strategists including LAN, the Nintendo Wi-Fi-Connection and the Hot Seat mode.
